"Count Us Out": AAP, Trinamool Boycott Opening Of New Parliament Building | Read

Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress became the first opposition party to say that they would boycott the inauguration of the new parliament on Delhi's Central Vista by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, due on May 28. Later in the evening, Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party became the second, declaring that they would boycott the function on account of the "insult" to President Droupadi Murmu, who was not allowed to inaugurate the building. Mr Kejriwal had met Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today as part of his outreach to opposition parties over the Centre's executive order on transfer and postings of bureaucrats in Delhi.
